A stock index It is an indicator that shows how the price of a set of assets changes.for which it takes data from different companies or sectors of a fragment of the market.

These indicators are mainly used by the stock exchanges of each country and each of them can be integrated by companies with different specificities such as having a similar market capitalization or belonging to the same industry. In addition, there are some indices that only consider a handful of shares to determine their value or others that consider hundreds of shares.

Stock market indices serve as indicator of stock market confidence, business confidence, health of the national and global economy, and stock investment performance and shares of a company. Generally, if investors lack confidence, stock prices tend to fall.

Likewise, they function to measure the performance of an asset manager and allow investors to make comparisons between profitability and risk; measure the opportunities of a financial asset or create portfolios.

This type of indicators began to be used at the end of the 19th century after the journalist Charles H. Dow. carefully investigated how company shares tended to rise or fall in price together, so he created two indices: one that contained the 20 most important railway companies (as it was the most important industry at the time), as well as 12 shares of other types of businesses

Today in our economy there are various indices and They can be agglomerated depending on their geography, sectors, company size or even the type of asset.For example, the US Nasdaq index is made up of the 100 largest companies largely related to technology such as Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), Facebook (FB), Alphabet (GOOG), Tesla (TSLA), Nvidia (NVDA), PayPal (PYPL), Comcast (CMCSA), Adobe (ADBE).

Each stock index has its own way of being measured, but the main factor is the market capitalization of each company that comprises it. This is obtained by multiplying the day’s value of the security in the corresponding stock market by the total number of shares that are on the market.

Companies that appear on the stock exchange are required to present a balance of its composition. This report must be delivered every three or six months, as appropriate.

Reading a stock index also involves observing its variations over time. New indices always start with a fixed value based on security prices on your start date, but not everyone follows this method. Therefore, it can be a source of misunderstandings.

If one index adds 500 points in a day, while another only adds 20, it might appear that the first one performed better. However, if the first started the day at 30,000 points and the other at 300, it can be concluded that, in percentage terms, the gains for the second were larger.

Between the main US stock indices There is the Dow Jones Industrial Average, better known as Dow Jones, made up of 30 companies. Likewise, the S&P 500, which comprises 500 of the largest companies on the New York Stock Exchange. Finally, we must not forget the Nasdaq 100which associates 100 of the largest non-financial firms.

He too DAX 30, the main German index that contains the most outstanding companies on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange; the FTSE 100 from the London Stock Exchange; he CAC 40 from the Paris Stock Exchange; and the IBEX 35from the Spanish stock market.

There is also the SSE Composite Index, which appears as the most solid in China, made up of the most relevant companies on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
